Pasuram 6 : Pullum SIlambinaRagam : ShankarabharanamSinger : Madhu IyerVenue : Brahma Vidya MandirIn the sixth pasuram, Andal gently chides young devotees to arise early & pray to Lord Hari in observance of the ritual vow. This song was composed in chaste Tamil over 1200 years ago by the only female Vaishnavite saint Kodhai Alwar, or Aandal as she is popularly known. The pasuram is a part of the Thiruppavai, a set of thirty songs sung in Margazhi (mid-December to mid-January).Meaning of the pasuramEven the birds are chirping; can you not hear,In the temple of the King of Birds (Garuda)The roar of the great white Conch?Awake, O Young maiden!He who drank milk from the poisoned breast of the demon (Putana)And with a raised foot, destroyed the evil asura in the guise of a cart (Sakatasura)The Creator of the CosmosWho reclines on the great Serpent in the Ocean of MilkAs the rishis and the yogisGently awaken with the Lord in their hearts,And resounding chants of Lord HariMay His name enter our hearts tooMay we rejoice as we observe our vow!(Lyrics from www.vedics.org, www.ramanuja.org, & Wikipedia; Translation by Anuradha S) #margazhibeats #thiruppavai #kodhai #madhuiyer #andal #margazhi #carnaticmusic #keezhvaanam #pasuram #tamilbhaktisaints #bhaktimovement #tamilsaints #tamilsongs #vishnu #krishna #pasurams #slt #degreekaapi
